Chapter 11:

Korra P.O.V

Afterwards Mako and I returned to join Lin and Tenzin who were still discussing amongst themselves. I assumed the topic brought up earlier.
As we sat down I had to calm myself. I was still majorly pissed that Lin hadn’t announced Asami’s accident and condition sooner, I mean seriously  who busts out the bad news that was THREE years ago?

I breathed in.

It wasn’t the time to bump heads, the moment called for seriousness. It was time to act like the Avatar I have religiously trained my whole life to be. Restraint and patience was what Asami and everyone else needed from me right now, I wasn’t going to disappoint anyone by letting my frustrations get to me.  Lin inspects me for aggressive body language but she finds none I give a nod to her, indicating I am fine. Mako gently lays his hand on mine offering me his support which comforted me slightly.
“Korra … I apologize fo-”

“Forget it … all I want to know is what you want me to do?” I needed to help Asami anyway I could and to do that I needed to know everything Lin had to share.

Lin nodded in understanding “As I informed you before ... Asami was in an accident, she holds all the key answers to finding out what really happened on that ship”  

“Haven’t you already asked her?” Mako questioned with a raised brow, I stared in confusion, why hadn’t they asked her yet?

Lin sighs exhaustedly like she holds something weighing her down “She … Asami doesn’t remember … she lost her memory during the raid of her vessel …”

My crystal eyes widened and the question popped out my mouth before I could bite my tongue. “Does she remember me, I mean, you know … all of us?”


Her eyes seemed to darken sadly, her voice was firm but held the slightest of pity “She remembers everything, her early childhood, her present life now … she remembers Mako and Bolin but …” Her eyes refused to meet mine as she spoke.

“She’s forgotten you…”  

For a moment I felt my beating heart freeze, the air seemed too thin, not enough reaching my lungs no matter how much I tried to breathe it in. Unconsciously my hand gripped my chest where my heart rests beneath, clenching my teeth as the pain vibrating from my chest, throughout my body was too much. Tenzin never prepared me for this ... never prepared me for this kind of pain.

My body turned numb my brain failing to process feeling, too preoccupied by my racing thoughts all colliding and overlapping.  I was overloading.

She can’t remember…

She’s forgotten ….

Asami…

Fresh tears began to fill my eyes as I began to shake a little; I felt an intense burning engulf my chest that ignited the tears now threatening to fall. Why was I feeling this way?

“Korra…?” Mako glanced at me worriedly as he squeezed my hand. Lin and Tenzin stared awaiting a response.

Mako’s word dissolved, unheard as my mental wall devoured them making it fade to a blur, subconsciously my mind wished not to be disturbed. Images of Asami flashed through my mind, her luscious and always well-kept long locks of dark black hair swaying in the wind. How alluring her emerald eyes use to shine with unbelievable beauty, the sway in her walk, how she worked on cars on late afternoons, how graceful she dressed every day and her passion for bro bending. Just everything related to Asami stored in my memory began to accumulate.

I tried to close my eyes to halt my tears from leaving however the attempt failed. As the memory of Asami’s plump red lips curving into a genuine smile as she turned my way formed inside my head I couldn’t hold it back any longer. I let the tears flow.

Because I realized …

She’d never smile for me like that again …

She’d forgotten ….

She’d forgotten about me…

“J-just tell me what we h-have to do already …” My voice was breaking but I kept it strong, I couldn’t lose myself here not completely anyway. Through my peripheral vision I could see Mako frowning in concern but he kept quiet, he was going to pester me about it later probably.

Lin gave a quick look at Tenzin who just stared at her seriously Lin’s voice was stern. “Korra listen to me … Asami can be helped … all I ask of you is to visit her at Republic City medical center. Do some sessions of talking with her to try get the puzzle pieces put back together…the sole purpose however is to get her to regain her memory…” She then leaned forward to place a sheet of paper directly in front of me. “These are the details, all you have to do is sign this piece of paper and tomorrow you’ll see Asami…”

I stared down with my slightly puffy teary crystal blue eyes. “If I sign this … I can help her …?” I glance at both Tenzin and Lin who both provide me with small encouraging smiles. “Of course … Korra if anyone can help her it’s you” Lin smiled at me elevating the mood a little. Again I felt Mako squeeze my hand again, I looked up at him as he smiles confidently “Help her Korra, I know you’ll bring her back”

Without hesitation I smiled back happy to have his support. As I closed my eyes the image of Asami resurfaced and at that moment I swore to her that I’d bring her back. Not because she had information on a potential threat, not because everyone was telling me too but because I wanted to see that smile spread across her face again.

With a nod I signed the piece of paper that I passed back to Lin, I had made up my mind …

Whatever it took I was bringing Asami back.
